CTAN Update: dvisvgm
by CTAN Announcements 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Martin Gieseking submitted an update to the dvisvgm package. License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts DVI files to SVG. The recent release 1.2.2 is a bugfix release with the following most important changes: - A bug that prevented the lookup of font map files has been fixed. - Builds for MiKTeX now print a warning message rather than aborting with an exception if MiKTeX isn't installed. - dvisvgm prints a warning message if PostScript specials were found but ignored because Ghostscript is unavailable. For further information including a more detailed list of recent changes and pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project page http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvisvgm . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dvisvgm (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
